It is still stocked. Very different since the dam remnants were removed. Personally I'm not very impressed with the touted streambed restoration work done above the former dam site. Still pretty much a seasonal trout fishery though due to the thermal problems created by the impoundment at Saxton Falls. By mid spring the river above there bakes in the sun and dumps the hottest surface water over the dam nd on downstream. It takes the river until below Beattystown (sp?) to cool down, only to get nicely reheated by the impoundment above the Penwell dam. Unfortunately there's very little likelihood we'll see either of those two dams removed anytime soon despite the best efforts of many orgs working together towards that goal.
